About queries
A query indicates that more information is required to code a request. You create queries on verbatims from the Coding Requests page, the Approvals page, or the coding browser. For more information, see Creating a query from the Coding Requests or Approvals page or Creating a query from the coding browser.
Queries created in the Central Coding application can be closed in the Central Coding application in the following ways:
- If the auto close functionality is enabled, the query is closed automatically when the verbatim is successfully coded and approved.
For more information about the auto close feature, see Setting system configuration options for auto queries.
- If the query is in Answered state and the verbatim can be coded, a Central Coding user closes the query.
- A Central Coding user with the Force Close Query right marks it as Closed.
Note: This is not the preferred way to close queries. Oracle recommends queries to be closed as a result of being coded.
Queries and query statuses appear in both the Central Coding and the InForm applications, and both Central Coding and InForm users can view and modify them. For more information about how the Central Coding system exchanges query data with the InForm system, see About queries in InForm.
